Muscles that aren't exercised regularly tend to become weak. Recent research indicates that brain cells are similar to muscles in this regard. Memory and brain fitness improve with stimulating brain exercises for all important areas of the brain. Crosswords alone are not enough because they don't exercise all parts of the brain. Brain exercise needs to include activities like drawing and learning a musical instrument.

OCD vs. Habit

A habit doesn't have to be compulsive though sometimes it does seem so. The same brain cells that get trained for a habit can get overly responsive in certain situations and appear obsessive.

Anxiety is the same way. Sometimes anxiety helps you to be careful and that tends to reinforce itself and you think that you have to be anxious in order to succeed.

Success can be relaxed and enjoyable. It does not have to feel stressful and like it is going to kill me.

Winners attitude without over-optimism is a balancing act. Call it confidence!

Good habits can lead to confidence, repetition of success with a habit makes for repetition of a habit.
